Are we going through another scalping apocalypse? (lemm.ee)

Are we? Seems like GPUs are not available on launch, or even after a long while. Scalpers are at it again. Should I not wait and look into the used market?

What are you looking for?

RTX 50 just dropped in, they're in the "beta early adopter" phase, AKA expensive for people with more dough than smarts. They're the same TSMC 4N process as the RTX 40, and unless you have a PCIe 5.0 motherboard, the RTX 50 makes little sense. No need to go to used market, but I'd personally stick to the 4060/4070 for the time being, or the Radeon RX 7600/7700.

If you need some serious AI oomph... then go to the pro line, there are some nice RTX Ada for less than $10k, or rent some cloud H100s.
